I haven't bought a single pphysical game. Strictly digital. I work quite bit so screw going to a store when I can just queue a game and Download it. I imagine I'm not the only one.

No.
Yeah that doesn't sound like new IP to me. Maybe they messed up their wording though

Sure they do, I hope a lot of ppl bought Driveclub digitally.
Weather update should be next week hopefully and updated server fix.

Because this gen should have started in 2012/late 2011. People got sick and tired of ps3/x360 and wanted to jump to next gen asap once new machines were out.

No Alien is surprising. Another bomb for Sega. Though Colonial Marines may have killed the series. Bayonetta not being on the list is the least surprising thing ever. Had bomb written all over it. Limited da base or a limited install base. Also the "no show" for SO is also no surprise. The only thing saving that game from total bomba territory was the White Bundle. Otherwise it would have sank without trace.

Also this. It was only 3 days. Although I doubt it will rank in November with all the competition. I will wait for Insomniac to tweet results before judging.

SO would have been #9 on the individual list of SKU's. Add to that digital plus bundled sales and it's not shocking to see why he might have been pleased.

Probably needed seed money to get started, as usual. That's Insomniac's angle.

Xbox owners love shooters and little else.
No one expected Bayo 2 to sell. Its sad but its reality.
I think they might have had to because otherwise the game would be over like 1.5 million given Resident Evil.
Kind of sad to not see Alien Isolation up there in the top 10. It deserves it.
I was interested but didn't buy it because of the preorder nonsense. If the Nostromo edition had come with the additional content on its disc instead of a single-use download code, I would have bought it. There is no reason not to press separate discs in a case like this, it costs very little. Now I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin.

Not really anymore. Packaged is only around 70% of the story nowadays though.
LOL. I got a little excited there. Forgot about the existence of COD for a bit.
Smash WiiU will be in the top 5 then?
What? Weather was going to be sometime in December...and that was before the server mess

They probably went Xbox exclusive under the assumption that MS wouldn't have faced the backlash that they did with XB1.

Lets give it more than 4 days of NPD before we declare it dead.
The only hope is that Walmart Xbox One MCC bundle on black Friday. Will Walmart really be Microsoft's salvation?
Insomniac got their money upfront to make the game, MS was the one who lost the money
Wow, people don't have comprehension skills sometimes.
SO bundles all sold out, no digital numbers. In order to top 10 it would have to beat all those games on one system vs the 4 systems multiplayform is on.
All this means is it didn't sell a huge amount of physical copies its first week. Game is amazing too

SO did similar numbers to Fh2 in the UK. I imagine the same is probably true for US.
B2 not charting shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
We don't even know what it sold, just becaused it ranked below multiplats doesn't mean it sold bad.
Smash, NBA X3, and Evil Within PS4 likely occupy the first 5 spaces with great sales for instance.
...Huh? Isn't that excuse given when something doesn't do well, and people hopelessly expect better next week/month?
It did 705K (with digital) in October. Smash isn't frontloaded like some games, but that's still a huge chunk. To move up in place next month is impressive to me.

9th ranked individual title in a month that isn't November or December? I'm betting they're terrible.

Not sure why people expected Sunset Overdrive to be such a hit.
But then again, I would never have guessed the The Evil Within could possibly end up so high in sales.

But Microsoft said Xbox One was leading sales since the price cut. What are we to think!?

As a PS4 owner i really don't know why they keep selling, PSN sucks and they have no exclusives at all at the moment and I can't really see that many on the horizon either right now
I honestly want ps4 to stop selling a little, might give them a kick up the arse to sort PSN out and get some games out

SO sounds like it bombed. :\
Didn't Skylanders give you a free digital download of WiiU if you bought Wii?
Hmm. I had read on http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-11-13-npd
The Evil Within was the highest-selling first month of sales for new survival horror IP
Yeah, new ip makes more sense unless NPD doesn't count RE as survival horror.
People said that with FH 2 last month...
Those numbers are for Nov. so they don't really indicate anything for this NPD.

Well i heard they are gonna announce something cool tomorrow so fingers crossed. People working on weather stuff are probably not coding away at network stuff anyway ya know.
Evil withing is a cross-platform/gen so its apples and oranges.
